Gunbrains are gonna praise firearms and tell us armed society protects democracy and shit, trying to bash left, yet conveniently ignoring the armed far-left basically have birth to their nemesis, the commies, back in the 20th century.

Star Citizen is a game that's been in development forever, all while attracting money in forms of donations and sales of in-game ships. A single-player game by the same devs, Squadron 42, is a somewhat similar story, except that people can't even play it yet (as far as I remember).

A whale is a tern that often means someone/something that brings you the substantial part of your revenue, so in case of the games above, whales would be the players that spend most money on the in-game ships or donations to support development.

The "whale fracking operation" in this context probably means that the entire trailer is a yet another bait for the community to go crazy and bring in the money so that the devs don't starve and finally deliver finished products.

The punchline is, however, that it's likely not gonna happen anyway lmao

You shouldn't really assume that the Russian government is up to anything aside from imitating some activity to present the their superiors, which is all a long chain going from the very down to the very top.

It's a corrupt government that consists of people only aiming at filling their pockets with as much money as possible, for as long as possible. Sometimes they need to play along and make people (mostly their gone-mad old-aged marasmatic superiors) believe they're loyal, should be allowed to keep their money and pay, and are super busy.

There is no ideology. There is no long-term goal. There isn't even an evil goal. There's only greed and some things that they think they must do to keep their pockets growing.

You'd be right talking about extremely unnecessary shit, like a new bugatti or a rolex or a replacement for a phone you bought less than 12 moths ago, but living space is a necessity that should be affordable if that's what the tenants need - good luck finding much of affordable and liveable living space.

Truly ungovernable, mad respect.

It's very gradual and fun because it's new. A lot of you being lazy is also just your safety mechanism kicking in so you don't dive into every single urge all the time.

Once you dip your toe, you'll be at it for a long and good time.

1999 piracy mostly consisted of paying for a pirated copy that someone decided to make profit off; most likely, they weren't the person to make the (first!) copy, and they're not even sure what's on the thing they were selling you. It was mostly bootlegging.

Gernans make many jokes about British trains being much more reliable in their schedule than Deutsche Bahn.
